Yes, these headphones are really supposed to be worn with open-ears. At first it looks weird, knowing all other headphones we worn before are designed to cover or plug into our ears, but AfterShokz is different, it’s supposed to settle on your cheekbones. Sick of listening music through your ear canals like a chump? It turns out you can actually hear via the bones in your skull instead.

Playing music sets them vibrating and the fun begins. Listening to music via bone conduction is weird in so many ways. But convenient and fun at the same time. The sound seems to somehow come from inside your head and feels richer yet muted at the same time. To be honest, it gets some time before you get used to it. But when you do, you won’t look back to your old plugged-in-your-ear-earphones/headphones.

It’s important to nestle the headphone pads right up against the bone in front of your ear, otherwise you won’t get the full effect. It does take a bit of experimentation to find the best spot, especially if you wear glasses.

At first it seemed like the sound was only inside your head – like standing in a room full of music that only you can hear. But it turns out if you crank up the volume the headphones are actually very audible to people nearby. While bone conduction does the heavy lifting, a lot of sound does make it into your ears the usual way.
